About

Salomé Tamayo Hidalgo was born and raised in Medellin, Colombia, but now resides in Philadelphia, USA. She received her BFA in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design, with a double minor in Drawing and Scientific Illustration. She was part of different exhibitions throughout university and was awarded the Latin American Illustration 2017 winner for her 3D experimental work. She is now represented by SCAD ART Sales.

Salomé’s work humorously celebrates the inconsistencies and peculiarities of social cannons. By observing people, she looks for characters and stories entwined in everyday life. Her characters play with abstract concepts to give concrete depictions of people being and living in their own way.
